Georgian Feast

This bright and modern apartment situated close to the historic centre of Bath is a great place for a family or a small group of friends to call home while visiting this Georgian gem of a city. Nestled inside a small apartment complex, you’ll enjoy a shared garden and private parking, not to mention all the comforts that your pad has in store for you. Enter to find a light-filled open-plan living space, with comfy sofas inviting you to kick back and relax after a long day. You’ll be able to rustle up delicious suppers in the well-equipped kitchen area and share them with your loved ones at the glass dining table – should you have some work to catch up on during your stay, this is also a great spot for it. Two comfy bedrooms await you with a promise of restful sleep – wake up refreshed and start your day with a healthy breakfast, courtesy of the cereal and milk provided by the host. Factor in the sleek bathrooms, including one ensuite, and you’ve got everything to make your stay a restful one. Outside your home, you’ll find yourself just a short walk from the centre, with the Royal Crescent about twenty minutes away.

The Georgian Bakery

This Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse situated across from one of Bath’s most beautiful squares once housed a bakery in the basement. It’s five minutes from the city centre, and fifteen from the famous Roman baths – you couldn’t be better placed for exploring. The local area is rife with leafy parks, local shops, cosy pubs, and delicious eateries and delis to discover. There’s even a public golf course a few minutes away when you want to hit the links. Though the interior of this home has been recently upgraded, many of the traditional features still stand, including sleek marble fireplaces and ornate crown moulding. Relax in the lounge on the plush red sofas, with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in lots of natural light, it’s a cosy spot to unwind with a book, and the kitchen is nicely stocked if you want to rustle up a meal. Both bathrooms feature luxurious soaker tubs – the perfect respite after a long day on your feet – and the east-facing patio out back is a sweet spot to catch the sun as you sip on your revitalising morning cup of tea.

In Good Time

This modern apartment, located a twenty-minute walk from the centre of town, is an ideal choice for those seeking a sleek yet comfortable place to call their own during a trip to Bath. Inside the home, it’s all creamy tones and soft whites with pops of colour coming from the furnishings. Throw open the patio doors and let a gentle breeze drift through the living area as you sip a coffee on the leather sofa. If the weather’s nice, head out onto the patio and bask in the warm morning sunshine. After polishing off a cooked breakfast at the dining table, head out and explore your surroundings. Shop along charming Milsom Street before holing up in a tea room with a cup of Earl Grey and a well-deserved slice of cake. Visit the Roman Baths, a twenty-two-minute walk away, then admire the intricate architecture of the medieval Bath Abbey.

Pineapple House

With the buzzy coffee shops, street food eateries and cocktail bars of Kingsmead Square around the corner, this stylish Bath bolthole is the place to be. One of three apartments in a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, expect a light-filled bedroom to sleep three guests and a single sofa bed in the lounge – perfect for a small family or friends sharing. There’s also a hidden shared garden – a rare find for a home this central and handy if you’re bringing a four-legged friend along.

Golden Stone

Tucked away in a delightful tangle of Bath Stone townhouses, this home radiates Georgian opulence. You’ll find it nestled between two of Bath’s most iconic locations, the Royal Crescent and the Circle. Spend mornings promenading your historic surroundings or jogging through Royal Victoria Park before grabbing breakfast – we recommend Berdoulat for coffee and pastries, a one minute walk from your doorstep.Perched on the top floor, this home boasts spectacular rooftop views across the city and the verdant hills beyond. Inside, it’s all large sash windows, marble fireplaces and vintage furnishings. Original features are complemented by stylish decor and contemporary amenities, delivering on both comfort and sophistication. After a busy day exploring the city, sink into the sumptuous sofas in the sitting room with a cup of tea before roosting at the dining table for a home-cooked feast. If you don’t fancy cooking, take a fifteen-minute stroll to the city centre, where ample eateries and bars await.

Historic Gem

With a fantastic address on Beau Street, just steps away from the Thermae Spa and Roman Baths, you’ll be immersed in the rich culture of this historic city. This apartment is housed in a Grade II listed Georgian period building and is accessed via a steep and winding 17th-century staircase (so maybe pack light). Inside, this home has been thoughtfully renovated, blending period details with modern comforts. We love the views over the city’s rooftops and the trees beyond. This apartment is ideal for leisure or business travellers alike.

Elizabeth & Darcy

With the prestigious Queen Square in one direction and bustling Milsom Street in the other, the location of this dog-friendly apartment is spot on. A perfect bolthole for couples or solo travellers, the small but well-equipped kitchenette and dining area has everything you need for cosy nights in. Although with quirky cafes, traditional pubs and buzzy restaurants just footsteps from your door, you may decide to eat out instead. Need space for an extra guest? There’s a sofa bed for one in the lounge – perfect for two friends who’d rather not share beds or a little one.

The Magic Number

If you’re travelling as a big group — whether a gaggle of friends or several families together — most properties catering to larger numbers still only tend to have one kitchen and living room. This home on the outskirts of Bath offers much more versatility, as it’s actually three apartments in the same period Bath Stone building, all booked as a package. As a result, each has the amenities you would expect to find in a self-contained flat — living room, bathrooms and kitchens — as well as a few welcome extras, such as two private patios and sleeping quarters geared towards children. This unique setup allows for added privacy and more communal spaces, too. However, when you all want to join up as a group again, there’s plenty to do in the local area together. Behind the house, the semi-rural Perrymead neighbourhood features lots of sights, including Prior Park Landscape Garden reached in half an hour of foot and the six-mile circular National Trust Bath Skyline route. The city itself is only a twenty-minute walk away, too.

The Cook’s Alcoves

When you first enter this large terraced apartment in central Bath, you might notice something a little strange about its layout. It served as a kitchen in Georgian times, and the original alcoves remain, adding a touch of history to the newly renovated living room and kitchen. Not only that, but the vaults under the street have been incorporated into the apartment, with the arched ceilings lending character to the rooms downstairs. There’s plenty of space for everyone to relax with a meal or a film in the open-plan living area, but if you’d rather do your own thing there’s also a snug in the vaults where you can put your feet up and watch a film. When the weather’s on your side, take a stroll through Green Park just outside and return for an alfresco dinner in the back garden. If you’re visiting during chillier months, the added bonus of underfloor heating beneath the travertine tiles and wooden floors means no cold feet when you wake in the mornings.

Old King Elegance

There’s room for all fourteen of you to pile into this handsome Georgian townhouse set along Old King Street in the city’s heart. Spanning over five floors united by sophisticated interiors, the views of Bath’s rooftops and Queen’s Square only get better the higher you go. We love the mix of old and new here – think elegant drawing room with period features aplenty, alongside a sociable, state-of-the-kitchen that’s bang up to date. It’s worth noting that the two more generously sized bedrooms sleep up to four guests. But there are two cosy double bedrooms for anyone after a little more privacy.
